Can’t sadly, at a client.
Hopefully I can have a quick look on my phone from time to time.

Every player bar the goalkeeper is marked at some point during the match. Some situations they are instructed to mark for and others not. It is rare to be properly 'man marked' for an entire game in modern football. In any case the style of our pressing play means players are quickly closed down.

You get worse.

Who said anything about man marking for an entire game ?

Use common sense .

Sadly you remain the same.

Very happy with that. 

We're winning this. 3-1.

COYS. 

 

[CB Fry]

Happy with that team. Hopefully no one too rusty and excited to see the new boy.

Newcastle have injury issues (and are shit anyway).

Optimistic today, even if we never win up there.

[Manuel]

Here's hoping Minimino turns out to be good enough to feature regularly in the squad, but not so well that he's good enough to feature in Liverpool's.

They have CB problems. Had a quick scan of their fans thoughts on the line up and the main thing I noticed is how much they dislike Hendricks. 

I'm going for a 2-1 win.

[Mr X]

Hope we can get it together together today and at least keep it respectable & be In the game with good effort, we've had some terrible decisions go against us and horrendous injury list but not sure that excuses a second 9-0 loss. Another four nil plus loss and I'm not sure even RH could get them to recover mentally.  Saints can hopefully prove that we are better than Tuesday.  I definitely want Ralphlh to stay he has his faults but there's no way we are going to get anyone any better

I'll take Appy's knowledge and information over your irritating pedantry every day of the week.

nice one appreciate it

Only 17 mentions of the 9-0 so far. Not heard much about the refs display though, which is strange, as that's what made that result.

Doesn't even sting now, just feels like an injustice where we get to put it right. Lets put these mugs to the sword, we owe them for the robbery of last season. 

[NewYorkSaint]

I'm going for 1-3 to Saints, Minamino with a key assist. Che Adams to get at least one.  Pride restored.

[Mr X]

Two 9 Nils is all we are going to hear from the commentators

Yep, and perfectly understandable to be honest.

Ooh red shorts.

mlg notes: yes I’m aware there are different shades of red and different people can have differences in colour perception...

Yes but will they mention the context? I.e two sending offs, horrendous decisions from var & officials and our injury list! 

[bender]

Why not the blue away kit ?

Really like the look of Minamino already.

[OttawaSaint]

Minamino looking lively so far. 

[trousers]

Looking edgy

[nta786]

Wilson offside 

[OttawaSaint]

Close, good ball Redmond, Minamino just missed it’s connection.

 

Wilson scores....offside...

[OttawaSaint]

Wait, Mike Dean is checking it, they’re saying Vestergaard’s buttcheek is really really long....

Yep. Good movement into some very central positions. 

[Mr X]

Why do they let offside play continue so long? 

[OttawaSaint]

Just now, Mr X said:

To annoy us. 

 

It’s annoying because it gives the striker shooting practice against the oppo goalie.

mlg: yes I know they practice in training...

[trousers]

Tentative start. Need to be more positive / assertive

[Saint_clark]

Poor from Ings, should never be that far offside.

[OttawaSaint]

Not pen?

 

Ings off.

Careful that doesn't get interpreted the wrong way!

We look nervy of making tackles

To be fair, he did quickly roll up his sleeves before making his run.

mlg: I know, it was a joke.

Forgot my mlg note. Damn!
